Well my dear friends a lot has happened on the farm the last year. The saddest thing I have to report is I lost the love of my life my dear husband, Charles the 15th of this month. He had a massive heart attach and died here at home with me and Phillip by his side. <BR>
<BR>
We never know God's plan for us, but we know he will stand by us and guide us through these difficult times, if we have the courage to turn all our troubles and fears over to Him. <BR>

"Really think about this as you read!" <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. <BR>
<BR>
'One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me,' <BR>
Said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence. <BR>

Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thou...Tue, 6 Jul 2010 20:16:21 ESTA DEAR FRIEND NEEDS SUPPORT AND PRAYERS!http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3363260

First let me wish all the Father's and Mother's everywhere a very Happy Father's Day! <BR>

Why do I include Mother's? Funny you should ask! <BR>
<BR>
I for one was a single parent when my children were young, due to losing their father when my youngest son was 4 years old. <BR>
<BR>
So taking the role as many Mother's do, now not taking anything from so many Father's that take on the same role as both Father and Mother, we honor you today also, this is just a memory from my past. <BR>...Sun, 20 Jun 2010 22:21:31 ESTJUST PLAIN OLE FARM LIFE!http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3323005
